Moyra Davey (born 1958) is a Canadian visual artist currently living in New York City. Davey works across photography, video, and writing. Since the 1980s she has exhibited widely, received numerous awards, and her work has been acquired by prominent institutions.

Early life

Moyra Davey was born in 1958 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.[1] Davey began taking photographs as a teenager in an improvised darkroom in a closet making, quote: “lots (of) solarized, hippie-looking stuff.” [2] She initially attended art school for drawing and painting but dropped out after a year, later enlisting in the design program and finally photography at Concordia University in Montreal. Davey received a BFA from Concordia University in 1982 and a MFA from the University of California, San Diego in 1988. In 1989, she moved to New York and attended The Whitney Museum of American Art Independent Study Program.

Career

Over the past three decades, Davey has built an increasingly influential body of work composed of photographs, writings, and video. As opposed to a current predilection for large-scale, digitally manipulated photographs, her seemingly modest works reclaim a practice of photography grown out of contingency and accident. Her camera often turns towards the unseen or the overlooked, as her subjects include dust, books, records, coins, empty whiskey bottles, coffee cups, gravestones, and people writing on the subway. Her practice presents a wide-ranging model of engagement with the world: a reflection on possibilities of producing and consuming, on writing and reading, on novelty and obsolescence, and on the future of images amidst an economy of profuse reproduction. She was previously a faculty member at the Bard College International Center of Photography Program.[3]

Her work is currently represented by Murray Guy, New York;[4] Goodwater Gallery, Toronto;[5] Greengrassi, London;[6] and Wilfried Lentz, Rotterdam.[7]

The 1980s

Davey began exhibiting work in the early 1980s. According to a review in the Ottawa Citizen, her 1984 solo exhibition at SAW Gallery in Ottawa included photographs, quotations from T.S. Elliot, and "her own written commentary."[8] This cross-disciplinary approach has remained relevant throughout her career. The same year she presented Nuns on Main at The Photography Gallery in Toronto.[9] Other notable exhibitions from this period include solo exhibitions at the Agnes Etherington Arts Center, Kingston in 1985 and Optica, Montreal in 1989 as well as the 1984 group exhibition, Seeing People – Seeing Space presented at the National Museum Of Photography in Bradford and The Photographers' Gallery in London.

The 1990s

In the 1990s Davey was represented by Colin de Land’s gallery American Fine Arts where she presented solo exhibitions in 1994, 1996, 1999, and 2003.[10]

The 2000s

In 2001 Davey edited Essential Writings on Motherhood, which compiled memoirs, testimonials, diaries, essays, and fiction by a variety of writers. Contributions included texts by Margaret Atwood, Alice Walker, Sylvia Plath, and Toni Morrison.[11]

In 2008, Davey was the subject of a major survey at the Fogg Art Museum at Harvard University, which coincided with the publication of Long Life Cool White, a monograph of her photographs and writings on photography.[12] A survey of her work, entitled Speaker Receiver, was on view the summer 2010 at the Kunsthalle Basel; this was her first solo exhibition in Europe and marked the publication of an extensive catalogue on her work, with essays by George Baker, Bill Horrigan, Eric Rosenberg, and Chris Kraus.[13] Other notable achievements from this time period include the solo exhibition and accompanying publication, Burn the Diaries, at MUMOK, Vienna and the Institute of Contemporary Art, Philadelphia through December 2014. In April 2014, the Camden Arts Centre, London, mounted a large-scale survey exhibition of Davey’s work. In 2013, she had had solo exhibitions at the Tate Liverpool and Presentation House Gallery, Vancouver. Davey’s work was included in the 2012 Whitney Biennial and in the 2012 São Paulo Biennial. Her work has been included in recent group exhibitions at The Museum of Modern Art, New York, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia, Madrid, the Art Institute of Chicago, the CCS Hessel Museum of Art, Annandale-on-Hudson, NY, and the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, amongst others.
